It started to bother me where Russian weekday names are derived and was surprised to find I didn’t quite know where all the English names came from either In One Ear: Etymology of the days of the week

@tkoola How interesting! In Aotearoa New Zealand before Europeans arrived Māori used a lunar calendar and each of the 30 days / nights had its own name! www.tepapa.govt.nz/discover-...

@Miraz thanks for the links, I find this topic very fascinating. Seven day week seems to be the ”weakest” of the ways we split time (compared to solar year and lunar month). Cool to see systems with a different ”week”
